Bitcoin fees have surged by over 200% this week, reaching $15.5 million, with memecoin transactions involving Runes contributing to the hike. Miner fees spiked to over $4 million on 17 October, marking the highest daily revenue since August. This fee increase can be attributed to an increase in Bitcoin’s price moving into the $68,000 range and increased activity surrounding Bitcoin’s Runes. Data from IntoTheBlock revealed that Bitcoin fees saw a major spike this week, rising by an impressive 206%, bringing the total fees to $15.5 million. According to data from Dune Analytics, Runes transactions have picked up significantly over the past few days, making them the second-most traded asset on the network after Bitcoin itself. In addition to transaction volume, Runes notably impacted the fees generated; at close of trading session 3% of total Bitcoin fees were contributed by Runes transactions but throughout the week these reached as high as 7%. This fee hike has also benefited miners; data from CryptoQuant revealed that miner fees hit their highest daily level since August with a spike to over $4 million on 17 October although they have since dropped back down slightly but remain amongst some of highest figures seen recently for miner revenues indicating positive prospects ahead for those involved within cryptocurrency mining operations worldwide across multiple platforms including Ethereum Classic which remains one of many options available alongside other popular alternatives such as Dogecoin Litecoin Dash etc..
